NOVEL WEB Chapter 77
Snap, Snap——
The sound of official boots stepping on the bluestone slabs was clearly heard by everyone.
As the old man slowly approached.
The air in the venue suddenly became sticky, like a dark cloud pressing down on the land, making everyone breathless.
Sun Baichuan and others were frightened and pale, and they all put away their weapons, knelt on one knee, and saluted respectfully.
"Greetings, Lord Xu!"
"No need to be polite."
Xu Wenying walked closer and waved his hand.
A pair of sharp eyes like a hawk looked quietly at the black-shirted young man in the lead:
"Sun Baichuan, do you think what I said just now makes sense?"
Click——
There was only a crisp sound.
Sun Baichuan picked up the teapot on the table, opened his mouth and bit off the spout of the teapot, chewed it alive, and swallowed it whole.
His face was terribly gloomy, but he lowered his head deeply, not daring to show any disrespect to the old man.
"Well, you have good teeth and a good appetite, no wonder you dare to ask for 50,000 taels of silver."
Xu Wenying nodded with a smile.
"Okay, for the sake of your adoptive father, I will not pursue your abuse of power for personal gain.
After returning to Tianshui City, remember to make up the silver with interest.
As for the remaining teapot, take it back and eat it slowly, just treat it as your lunch today."
"Thank you, Lord Xu, for the reward!"
Sun Baichuan was immediately pardoned, put away the teapot with a missing spout, bowed and retreated, and left in disgrace.
After the other four subordinates took Li Tieniu off the wall, they also followed closely and fled from here in a hurry.
With the departure of these people, the atmosphere in the martial arts hall became a little quieter.
"Hmph! A useless thing! Instead of thinking about how to kill demons and monsters, you just think about this kind of crooked way of making money all day long!"
General Xu snorted coldly, turned to look at Gu Cheng, and his expression suddenly became kind:
"You are Gu Cheng, right? Well, you are handsome and have some of the style of my youth."
"Hello, Lord Xu."
Gu Cheng saluted with his fists, and at the same time, he looked at the other person secretly with his peripheral vision.
This Lord General was about sixty years old, his hair had already turned gray, and his body was not very strong.
If it weren't for the domineering and gorgeous general suit, he would be an old farmer digging for food in the fields.
However, in Gu Cheng's divine perception.
The breath exuded by this old general was as heavy as a mountain, filled with a suffocating sense of oppression!
Compared with this old man, the innate corpse king that Zheng Tianlu had transformed into before was not even worthy of carrying shoes!
There is no doubt that the old man in front of him is the strongest person Gu Cheng has ever seen.
Gu Cheng silently estimated in his heart.
He felt that with his current strength, even if he played all his cards, he would never be the opponent of this Lord Xu. At most, he could escape unscathed with the help of the "Thousand Miles Divine Travel Talisman".
"It is worthy of being the headquarters of the Demon Suppression Division. It is indeed full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons!"
Gu Cheng lowered his eyes and said in his heart.
His heart, which had been slightly inflated due to playing too many low-end games, also became restrained.
At the same time, his desire for strength and becoming stronger became stronger.
"Haha, I didn't expect that although Zhao Yuanjie was passive and lazy, he made a mess of Changle County.
But he has a good eye for talent, and he actually found a good seedling like you."
Xu Wenying narrowed his eyes, looked at Gu Cheng quietly, and suddenly asked:
"Boy, if I didn't show up in time, do you really plan to fight with those people?
Don't forget, according to the rules of the Demon Suppression Division, it is a taboo to offend the superiors!"
"Sir Xu, if I lose, that's offending the superiors."
Gu Cheng said calmly, neither humble nor arrogant:
"But if I win, it's just a "friendly exchange", how can it be an offense?"
"Friendly exchange?"
Hearing this, Xu Wenying was slightly startled, and then immediately understood, and couldn't help laughing.
"Hahaha, you're right. In the Demon Suppression Division, the biggest rule is to have the biggest fist!"
"Boy, your youthful and frivolous look is more and more like the style of my youth.
But as a person who has been through it, I still have to remind you: young people should not be too aggressive."
Xu Wenying slowly restrained his smile and said to Gu Cheng seriously:
"Do you know that Sun Baichuan's adoptive father is a powerful innate master, and he is extremely protective of his shortcomings."
"If you really dare to touch him, even if you can do it perfectly, his adoptive father will never let it go."
"Of course, you don't have to worry about it now."Thank you, Mr. Xu." Gu Cheng bowed and saluted, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this old man Xu was really loyal. His people haven't arrived in Tianshui City yet, but he has already got such a thigh in advance. "It's just a little effort, no need to be polite." Xu Wenying looked at Gu Cheng with admiration and said lightly: "With your strength, it will be easy to pass the final assessment of this department. When you go back, pack your luggage and go back to Tianshui City with me in three days." "I will follow your arrangement. "
Gu Cheng was delighted, and now he could finally leave the Novice Village!
After paying a salute to the old man, he left the place.
"Hehe, what an interesting young man..."
Xu Wenying looked at the back of the young man leaving, chuckled and shook his head.
With such a "dark horse" entering, the ranking competition of this year's final assessment may add a few more variables.
"Sir, this kid's cultivation is so strange."
At this time, the two guards behind the old man who had been silent all the time suddenly spoke.
"There is no fluctuation of true qi in his body, and it is obvious that he has not condensed the sea of qi.
But his body cultivation is surprisingly strong, and he can even defeat a body cultivator who has broken the ordinary realm with one move.
Such an abnormal thing, could it be... He is a body cultivation genius born with supernatural power? "
Another guard thought for a moment, and also bowed to General Xu, and said respectfully:
"Sir, Sun Baichuan should be punished for abusing his power for personal gain, but his previous doubts are not unreasonable."
"Gu Cheng is in a small frontier town like Changle County, and his cultivation can increase so rapidly. He must have some unknown [secrets]!
Sir, do you want me to investigate secretly?"
"Oh, what? Don't you allow people to have some little secrets?"
Xu Wenying frowned slightly, turned around and glanced at the guard, and asked with a smile:
"In this demon-ridden world, how many grassroots geniuses who can stand out in small places have not encountered adventures and have no [secrets] on them?"
"Don't forget that the new garrison commander of our Tianshui County also came from Changle County. "
"His growth rate back then was even more exaggerated than Gu Cheng's. Why don't you investigate the secrets of the garrison commander?"
"I dare not..."
The guard knew he had said too much and immediately lowered his head in fear.
"You must remember that the main responsibility of our Demon Suppression Division is to slay demons and eliminate evil!"
Xu Wenying stood with his hands behind his back, and his sharp eyes like a falcon swept over the two guards quietly.
"What our Demon Suppression Division wants is a sharp blade that can kill demons and evil cultivators!"
"As long as this knife is sharp enough, easy to use, and will not scratch yourself when used.
Then why do you bother to delve into how this knife was forged?"
"If you really have the time, instead of paying attention to the little secrets of Gu Cheng,
it's better to get a field mission after returning and secretly investigate the information of the 'master of magic'."
